Side Street had a huge array of the funkiest vehicles I've ever seen, and on display that night only.

Here's a sampling:

We stepped aboard Side Street's Woodworking Bus where children learn basic woodworking techniques.

There's a wall of blocks that children have personalized.

Then we hopped another shuttle and headed to Pasadena Museum of California Art, where everybody got free admission to their remarkable exhibition titled Data + Art: Science and Art in the Age of Information, curated by Jet Propulsion Laboratory's visual strategist Dan Goods and Mars public engagement outreach coordinator David Delgado.

All I can is Wow. Dan and David have translated scientific data into new art forms and challenged everyone's assumptions about where beauty can be found.

From closeup three-dimensional images of Mars to digital modeling created by keywords and rhythms captured on a computer, this exhibition was astounding.
